CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: EVEN DRUNK, STILL OBEDIENT

"Boss, we’ve found out that Lillian Everett’s family suddenly came into wealth, which is why they moved from the countryside to Imperia!"

Jude Ford’s voice came through the earpiece as Serena Everett listened quietly.

"This wealth came from your biological parents as a way to thank them for raising you all these years, Boss."

Before Serena could speak, Jude’s indignant voice sounded again.

"They have no idea how Lillian and her family treated you, Boss, and yet they still gave them money. It really infuriates me! Lillian Everett’s family doesn’t deserve it at all. Boss, I’ll take action and make them go back to their impoverished days!"

"No rush." Serena interrupted leisurely, "Let them climb a little higher first; the fall will hurt more."

"Got it, Boss, I understand!" Jude replied, "By the way, Boss, the Quinn Family just paid the eighty-seven million for that little wannabe Cassia Everett, ruining our plan. Now Cassia’s so smug, it’s unbearable not wanting to punch her!"

"The Quinn Family?" Serena’s red lips pressed coldly as she internally noted down the Quinn Family, "Double the price of any herbs the Quinn Family orders from now on!"

This was the consequence for the Quinn Family helping Cassia Everett!

After cutting off the conversation, Serena walked out of the lounge, her demeanor cold and exuding an aura that warned people to keep their distance.

But after walking a few steps, a pair of hands suddenly reached out in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.

Feeling annoyed at being suddenly stopped, Serena lifted her exceptionally beautiful eyes and cast a cold glance over.

Seth Sterling was startled by her look and quickly retreated a few steps with a strong sense of self-preservation, "Whoa, sis, don’t look at me like that, you’re scaring me..."

Last night, when she got drunk and kicked him flying, she had the same look in her eyes!

Hearing this, Serena finally remembered him and gave him a polite nod.

Seth was naturally sociable and didn’t care whether Serena wanted to talk to him or not, so he started talking to her with a smile.

"Sis, when I first saw you, I messaged Master Damian. Should we bet? I bet he’ll be here in five minutes..."

Before Seth could finish his sentence, Damian Quinn could already be seen walking towards them. Seth’s expression turned even more mischievous, and he let out a teasing tsk.

"Tsk, Master Damian arrived in less than five minutes. Some people are really eager, afraid you’ll get snatched away..."

Before Seth could finish his teasing, Damian’s warning gaze landed on him, and Seth immediately quietened down.

"We meet again, kid."

Unlike the cold indifference from before, Damian’s lips were now curved in a lazy, charming smile, inexplicably alluring.

Serena nodded at him, "Mm."

Noticing the girl’s low spirits, Damian gently rubbed her head with his palm, his deep, magnetic voice full of warmth, "What’s wrong, who upset our little friend?"

Serena didn’t answer, just stretched out her hand towards him, her exceptionally beautiful fox-like eyes quietly watching him, "Where is my Amulet?"

The smile on Damian’s face froze for a moment, then he lowered his arresting peach blossom eyes, gazing at her with tenderness.

"Brother forgot to bring it this time, but next time, I’ll make sure to have it for you."

Hearing this, Chase Sherman couldn’t help but silently criticize in his heart.

Master Damian always keeps the Amulet with him, but now he says he forgot...

Tsk tsk tsk, isn’t Master Damian worried that his conscience will hurt while he sweet-talks this innocent, obedient girl?!

"Okay." Serena nodded, choosing not to say any more.

Seth Sterling, catching the man’s warning glance, showed a hint of helplessness and immediately apologized.

"Sis, I apologize, I was wrong last night, I shouldn’t have let you drink..."

Serena didn’t mind this at all, shook her head, and casually said, "It’s fine."

Seeing Serena wasn’t upset with him, Seth breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this girl was easygoing and wasn’t angry with him.

Otherwise, Master Damian would have taken it out on him!

Seth, feeling relieved, couldn’t help but continue talking, "But sis, you were so wild after drinking..."

Before he could finish, Damian’s cold eyes swept over, stopping him from saying more.

Listening to Seth, Serena looked seriously at them, "Am I naughty when I get drunk?"

Seth was about to say, do you have a misunderstanding about what naughty means? You were so fierce when drunk...

But at that moment, Damian let out a low chuckle, his pleasant, magnetic voice leisurely saying.

"Little one, you’re very well-behaved even when you’re drunk."

Seth: "..."

How could Master Damian say that?!

Well-behaved my foot! My butt is still sore!

"Have you had lunch?"

Hearing the man’s gentle inquiry, Serena honestly shook her head, "Not yet..."

Damian’s long, deep peach blossom eyes gazed at her with a smile, indescribably captivating,

"Then how about I take you to grab something?"

There he goes again with his soul-stirring charmer attitude!

Serena initially intended to refuse, worried that if Niall came to pick her up, he wouldn’t find her, but for some reason, looking into his eyes, she ended up agreeing with pursed red lips.

"Master Damian, I haven’t had lunch either, can I join..."

As Seth spoke, he turned around to find Damian and Serena already walking far away, with no intention of taking him along.

Seth laughed in disbelief. Fine then, if he valued romance over friendship to this extent, he couldn’t blame him for tattling!

Grandma Quinn had been persistently questioning him about who the girl Master Damian liked was, and now, knowing Master Damian wouldn’t even invite him to lunch, he’d immediately report it to Grandma Quinn!

...

Meanwhile.

"Cassia, what exactly does Master Damian want from you?"

Cassia Everett was surrounded by that group of upper-class ladies, their faces filled with envy. Although her vanity was greatly satisfied, when she thought about Damian’s cold attitude towards her, her heart turned half chilly, though she kept a shy look on her face.

"Oh, it’s nothing really. Stop asking, will you!"

"Master Damian paid more than eighty-seven million for you, Cassia. Be honest with us, are you together with him?"

Hearing this, Cassia’s face deepened in shyness, "No, what nonsense are you all talking about! Master Damian just helped me out a bit for the Everett Family’s sake!"

While she denied it, putting on an act of shyness, it was hard not to misunderstand that they might not be together now, but would be in the future...
